One of the more common warships in the old Impiraght fleet and still present in significant numbers, the Cavanagh cruiser is an aging but still competent design. Dating from an era where fleet combat was all but unheard of and enemy aerospace assets were unlikely to be more than a handful of patrol ships or exoatmospheric fighters, these cruisers are as much armed transport as they are line warship; they have the ability to carry up to three dropships but their single array of cluster missile pods does not give them appreciably more firepower than a destroyer. However, they are well-armored and shielded and furthermore carry a 4.7m high-energy optical laser in a ventral mount. This weapon is specifically made for orbit-to-surface fire and was used both during landing operations and in support of groundside troops.

Much to the displeasure of the Ceilidh, the Formori brought several half-completed Cavanaghs with them during their flight to Formor and have since began producing variants both for their own use (mostly as Singleship mothercraft) and for export.

These were the first battleship of the Thersonian Kaiserliche Sternmarine packing an impressive array of 800mm batteries along with secondary laser batteries which could utterly demolish any ship of the same class. At least that in theory. The lack luster performance of the D-12s against the forces of COMMINSTEL during the COM-CON War lead to a number of improvements to the design with a focus on survivability incorporating new safety features, shields, and electronics. Like most Thersonian vessels the D-12 has a number of dockpoints for carrying either Leo-class mobile assault suits or korvettes for additional protection/combat projection.
